Record €4bn plus year for Irish investment market

2014 was the busiest year on record in terms of the Irish investment market with more than €4bn worth of properties due to be sold by year-end. 

When you consider that this figure was only €80m three years ago, this truly is an exceptional turnaround.

What makes the market even more exceptional is the fact that an additional €14bn — €20bn of loans (nominal value) relating to Irish property will also transact. While these are loan sales, some are being bought with a view to gaining control of the underlying assets.
